IRC Is the Only Viable Chat Protocol

I'm not sure why you don't trust Element. It's open source, so you could just look at the code yourself to determine whether you can trust it.

I personally use the nheko client since it is a native client and less bloat (in other words, no Electron stuff).

I didn't mean trust as in safety but as in reliability

In general it's not the smoothest but okay. Using bridges, for the mobile app the same applies: WhatsApp or Telegram are snappier but Element is still okay for me. Element web beats WhatsApp web, though. The Telegram desktop app is unbeaten, unless you want a TUI like me.

I don't have any problems with message delivery.
